Apple and Google will gladly erase the works of developers to chase profits.

      It’s sort of a paradox. Low adoption leads to less resources, bug reports, developer interest, etc. and that in turn leads to low adoption.

      What works for me is daily driving my linux phone, and having a used regular smartphone sitting in a drawer, turned off, until I absolutely need to run an app that is not compatible with Waydroid.

        Desktop Linux has the same problem, developer starts and app then burns out and drops it.

        maybe for enthusiasts, but the average person isn’t making bug reports.

        i would 100% own a big tablet like this to use at home, at the right price.

        but then i remember i can more easily just get a used touchscreen laptop and install linux on that instead.
